Have You Ever Thrown a Day Away

Have you ever thrown a day away? There are many more, as you would say There's always been and long shall be tomorrows lining up for me What guarantee have you or I this very night we shall not die? Tomorrow comes bringing her best while you and I are laid to rest Loved ones, friends and families mourn those, who from their lives were torn Blue skies and sun indifferent to the grief and tears for me and you New days are not for all to see That is the only guarantee Precious life was never meant to be so tragically misspent We go round and round through countless days at pointless tasks in foolish ways as we try to fill up empty holes at the very center of our souls And all the while missing out on what it's really all about That life's a gift for you to share with friends and neighbors everywhere And just who would your neighbors be? Why, anyone that you can see Each soul is precious to the One Who gave it life under the sun Friendship, love and laughter are greater gifts than gold by far And one should always find a way to bring these things to each new day Once it's gone you'll never see a day return to you or me And like a precious soul sublime forever lost in mists of time Awake! And savor each new dawn Breathe deep the scent of new mown lawn And with some favor from above share it with the one you love Join hands and walk through morning dew Lie in the grass, your love by you Take in the dazzling beauty of the golds and pinks and blues above And finally with humility in the midst of this tranquility give thanks to God for all He's done and the greatest gift of all, His Son And afterwards I'd like to see you come and spend your day with me And in the end we both can say we never threw a day away
